Chairman and Chief Executive Officer- India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, Mr. Anshuman Magazine, remarked that the logistics industry in India is experiencing a transformation driven by macroeconomic stability, rapid infrastructure growth, and a transition towards scalable and sustainable facilities. Approximately 84% of participants expressed a preference for modern, investment-grade facilities that feature automation and adhere to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
